It's genuinely possible English is his second language? It's pretty subtle, but there's a big difference between "an entire" versus "the entire."

The question is flawed. People who do not pay for ChatGPT often have money and prefer not to pay for for a subscription for several reasons including, but not exclusively: 1) They don't use ChatGPT often enough to…
Plot twist, the AI in the article was Amazon Mechanical Turk with a highly sensitive man falling in love.
Erm, I have embarked on this, and I have absolutely not arrived back to panpsychism. My conclusion is that panpsychism is god of the gaps for consciousness right now.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_brain But also, see the rest of my comment. The onus is not on me to arrive with a better explanation just because there's a bad explanation on the table. If I come home and find a…
While I don't like the radio analogy, I think we largely agree then. If interested, the reason I don't like the radio analogy is that it presupposes that the configuration of the brain, and inputs isn't fundamentally…
> Okay well that's silly and I've not met even one panpsychist who believes this "comparable to human conscious experience" portion You, yourself, and Philip Goff and others talk about how "we might want to treat trees…
I don't think we _all_ point at cat's behavior and conclude consciousness. I think its the behaviors you describe plus we see how anatomically similar to humans they are. As someone who believes consciousness is an…
I strongly agree with ergonaught, and disagree with what you're saying. This tiny interaction I think is the the entire problem with how panpsychists talk about this. Some panpsychists might try to actually say that…
I very much agree with this. It seems to me panpsychists make a redefinition of consciousness as some entirely alien, unrecognizable thing. So, if an atom is conscious, but has no sensory systems, no possibly way to…
"The emerging properties model is not unfeasible, we could test it" One thing you can do is disrupt the smaller individual components that make up the emergent property, and see if the property continues to exist. I.e.…
My strong personal assessment of this is that panpsychists (in general, if you can pin one down) are not talking about consciousness in a colloquial sense - but I think this is a mistake. I think the common…
I entirely agree with this, and I likewise think it's quite damning. But panpsychists don't see it this way. This is "the combination problem" and I predict they will never be able to solve this. Edit: I should…
This is compelling and I think many elements of the spirit of this are true. The only thing I would add is that it will be interesting to see if professional, medium/high budget, polished, "produced" content will remain…

I think it's pretty fair to make this clarification and I don't fault a company for wanting to squash misinformation about their product. I found it to be a useful comment because I had no sense of the scale of the Tile…
That sounds oddly terrifying. Like gray goo devouring the world.
The claim is that some day innovations, and checks, and some other technologies will fix this and do all of this automatically, somehow. That's why it's still early days.
It's not a figure of speech. It's a very deliberate attempt at deeply mischaracterizing the position in an attempt to make it appear absurd. "Oh yeah, that's right, who would ever wake up one day and decide to be…
Not _shocked_ and/or _appalled_ by people literally dying of overdoses in the streets. Photo-albums strewn in the street when a burglar decided it was worthless and ditched it? A family purely distraught - the father…
I believe I am seeing the problem here. You are, presumably unintentionally, using a blanket descriptor "mentally ill" and "drug addicted" to describe an extremely wide spectrum of expressions. "Serious Mental Illness"…
No one is arguing the scam isn't insidious and inherently difficult to detect for possibly even most customers. The argument is that Amazon is complicit because they're banking off those sweet counterfeit thumb drive…
While I agree this is a problem - one which I have been the victim of as well - Amazon accepts the return with no questions and/or charges. This, of course, is not a great consolidation, especially for a novice who…
